Chapter 106: Negotiated Settlement

The sky after the rain was clear, with clouds drifting leisurely; the sky was a vast expanse of azure. Breathing in the fresh air, one could not help but marvel at the magical charm of nature.

With no classes in the afternoon, Shen Yan prepared to go to the factory for an inspection. Just as he sat in the car, his phone rang at the perfect moment.

It was the lawyer, He Yichen, calling.

Some good news: the thug's injuries were not serious, and his family had relented, indicating they were willing to settle through negotiation and pay to end the matter.

In truth, the thug's family did not want to take this matter to court. The only reason they had insisted on suing Fang Tian was to use it as a bargaining chip to squeeze out as many benefits as possible.

And as soon as the professional lawyer He Yichen entered the fray, he went all out, stating the stakes: "My client was surrounded and beaten, and he used the weapon carried by your family member to fight back. In a case like this, even if you sue, you will most likely lose. By then, my client will be acquitted, and not only will you receive no compensation, but you will also have to bear the legal fees."

"I hope you consider this point carefully."

The family had little worldly experience and were intimidated by just a few words. They didn't know any lawyers, let alone have the money to hire one. Upon learning that if they lost, they would not only get no compensation but would also have to pay legal fees, they were no longer willing to proceed.

Of course, the family wasn't stupid. After checking with the police and confirming this was indeed the case, they were thrown into a panic and immediately relented, asking for twenty thousand yuan in compensation.

With He Yichen arguing on the basis of reason, the compensation was compressed down to five thousand yuan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan let out a sigh of relief and praised, "Senior Brother He is truly swift and decisive, with impeccable professionalism. You solved the problem perfectly so quickly; I hope we have the chance to cooperate again in the future."

He Yichen smiled. In truth, this case had no difficulty, and he could have completely handed it off to his subordinates. But considering Shen Yan was a junior from his school, he decided to do a favor to build a connection—who knew if it might come in handy later.

Immediately after, He Yichen began handling the relevant procedures, and that very afternoon, Fang Tian left the Police Station.

The boss's office at Yancheng Clothing Factory.

This was the first time Shen Yan had seen the youth who dared to wield a knife and injure someone. Unexpectedly, Fang Tian's features were very kind, his skin fair and clean, and he even gave off a simple, honest feeling, much like his sister, Fang Xiang.

Standing at one meter seventy-five with a buzz cut, he looked somewhat thin due to his family's hardships, yet he exuded an aura of resilience and unyielding spirit.

At this moment, several bruises were visible on Fang Tian's otherwise handsome face, and the corner of his mouth was scraped. His gait was steady and vigorous as he walked. Upon seeing Shen Yan, he first bowed and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Shen. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do."

Speaking of this, a joy of surviving a disaster welled up in Fang Tian's heart. At the time, beaten until he was dazed, his head had gone hot, and he had instinctively picked up a switchblade and stabbed out like a gust of wind.

Thinking about it now, he was still terrified; fortunately, it hadn't led to an irreversible outcome.

Shen Yan smiled slightly and said it was good that no one was seriously hurt, and that he shouldn't be so impulsive next time. Fang Tian nodded honestly and then asked, "Mr. Shen, I heard the factory is preparing to hire customer service staff and packers. Do you think I could do it? I want to earn money as soon as possible to pay you back."

This was the narrative Shen Yan and Fang Xiang had agreed upon.

To prevent Fang Tian from discovering the special relationship between the two, Shen Yan acted as the lender, loaning money to Fang Xiang to find a lawyer to smooth things over. Afterward, the Fang siblings were to repay this debt as soon as possible according to their agreement.

"Then you can try the packer job first. The monthly salary is two thousand five hundred, with potential raises later depending on the situation. However, there are no tasks in the factory for the next few days, so go back and let your injuries heal first, then wait for notification." Shen Yan spoke in a strictly professional tone.

"Thank you, Boss, I will definitely work hard." Fang Tian's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed to Shen Yan again.

He hadn't expected finding a job to be so easy.

Beside them, Fang Xiang was wearing a white knit sweater, her peach-shaped buttocks tightly wrapped in a green tight-fitting skirt that covered half her thighs, creating beautiful curves. Having just experienced intimacy, a faint blush bloomed on Fang Xiang's face, making her look like a ripe peach, exuding a charming allure.

Seeing the two talking happily, a gentle smile couldn't help but hang on Fang Xiang's lips. This could be considered the end of their suffering; now that both she and her brother had jobs, life would surely get better day by day.

After Fang Tian left, Shen Yan, sitting in his chair, glanced at Fang Xiang and told her to go lock the door. Fang Xiang knew exactly what he meant; despite her shyness, she still walked gracefully to lock the door, then consciously spread her legs and sat on Shen Yan's lap.

It wasn't just men who found this addictive; Fang Xiang also took great pleasure in it.

Without experiencing it, one could never understand the taste of it.

She had heard plenty of complaints from other older sisters before, saying things like their ex-boyfriends were "silver-tipped spears that looked good but were useless." By comparison, Fang Xiang knew just how formidable Shen Yan was.

Shen Yan rested his right hand on Fang Xiang's waist and, with a slight tug, pulled her tightly into his arms. His left hand landed on her rounded peach-shaped buttocks, his palm contracting slightly to feel the soft texture.

Resting his chin on Fang Xiang's shoulder, he inhaled the fresh fragrance.

He praised her, "This outfit looks quite good; keep it up."

Fang Xiang's body was soft and boneless, and she slumped into Shen Yan's arms, saying that as long as the boss liked it, it was fine. Shen Yan asked again if the customer service recruitment notice had been posted, and Fang Xiang replied that it had.

Shen Yan gave a soft hum, then turned his head to seek out those delicate red lips and gently took them into his mouth. Fang Xiang responded clumsily, and Shen Yan said, "You're so stupid, aren't you afraid of suffocating by holding your breath like that?"

Fang Xiang snapped out of it, and upon discovering Shen Yan's large hand diving into her skirt, she said weakly, "Boss, don't, let's go to the bed."

This office had an adjoining room with a small bed where the previous boss would take naps during busy work intervals and occasionally spend the night.

"Don't worry, no one can come in."

As Shen Yan spoke, he reached out to lift her tight-fitting skirt while unzipping his trousers...

Fang Xiang felt like she was about to be ruined. It was her first time experiencing such a shameful position, yet she couldn't refuse, nor did she want to, so she could only let Shen Yan have his way.

Thinking about it, it was actually nothing; the most intimate things had already happened, it was just a matter of being active versus passive.

As long as the boss was happy, it was enough.
